Is a posting every 6 months considered "Blogging"?

Well. Once post every six months. No one will accuse me of running off at the mouth...at least not for this blog.

Since last I've posted, my writing business has fallen victim to The Financial Meltdown, so I've decided the time is ripe to become a documentary film maker. My subject is (duh!) The Financial Meltdown. Not as boring and dry as you might think.

As it turns out, the periods of boom and bust we now may lovingly think of as "Bubbleomics" are in fact present in a pattern that repeats itself in 10 to 15 year intervals since the establishment of the U.S. Federal Reserve - arguably the first of many unconstitutional and most likely unlawful acts.

The problem with the research phase of this project is you of course can't talk to anybody who still holds a government office, and those who are retired and willing to talk are largely incoherent and senile. Not that the one's in office now aren't senile. I think senility is relative anyway...some people are born senile and only compound the problem with a little learning and experience...others burn a sharp blue intellectual flame well after they've gone gray and bony.

Needless to say, the most interesting part of making a film is raising the money...especially if you're a first-timer like me who likes to throw around names and numbers as if they're a done deal. BIG talker, everyone thinks. Only, of course, until its done.

Will it get done? Time will tell. There are hundreds if not thousands of companies going off a cliff right now cause they can't obtain enough credit to operate their perfectly viable businesses. Who's going to want to fund a documentary film by a first timer in these conditions?

Fortunately, the list to which I can market the idea is somewhat vast, having been developed over the last decade by GATA, which stands for the Gold Anti-Trust Action committee, an organization that has been loudly proclaiming the illegal manipulation of the gold price for nearly a decade. They are interested in seeing this film get made and are of the opinion that I'm just the man for the job.

There is no web site yet, but there will be one day soon. You're probably better off finding out more about it at my other site, http://www.midasletter.com.
